Chapter 550 Analysis

Hearing Xu Yuan's request, the female receptionist was not surprised.

The clothes on the second floor of Hongshang Clothing Shop are very expensive, costing thousands of taels of silver. For a servant like her, it is almost impossible to buy them in a lifetime, but for these young masters of noble families, they are toys that can be given away at will.

After a pause, the female receptionist still said respectfully:

"Sir, the patterned clothes purchased by the two distinguished guests just now are in charge of the host. I don't know the specific price, so you may need to wait a moment."

Xu Yuan was not surprised and nodded:

"Then you can pack this one first. How much silver?"

The female receptionist thought without hesitation:

"The price of the Tian Ziqin skirt is 1,200 taels, sir."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan did not react too much, but Xiaobai's bright eyes widened after hearing the words, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the dress became a little suspicious.

So expensive

She had been out a few times, and the clothes and cloth shops in the city could buy a piece of cloth with a few hundred copper coins, and the better ones were only a few taels. The price here was more than a hundred times higher.

She felt her heart bleeding.

Glancing at the young master cautiously, Bai Muxi hesitated to speak.

She wanted to dissuade him, but the clothes were for the young master after all.

She thought about her previous decision again.

If she wanted to buy such expensive clothes in private, she might not have enough money.

As if guessing what she was thinking, Xu Yuan's voice came quietly:

"This price is not expensive among the patterned clothes. This Hongshang Clothing Shop actually only buys a style, which is not strong. It is not very useful for you. After returning home, I will ask Xinyao to cut a practical one for you."

"Then the price will be more expensive?" Bai Muxi asked.

"The cost is naturally higher, after all, you are almost at the beginning of the source."

"."Bai Muxi hesitated and said nothing.

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he saw this:

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"

"Hmm"

Bai Muxi pondered for a moment, and asked carefully:

".Can the clothes be exchanged for silver?"

"."Xu Yuan couldn't hold it back.

He took a deep breath and asked with a smile:

"No, the one I bought from Hongchang is only enough for the Condensed Soul Realm at most. What if the clothes get torn when you fight with others without the patterned clothes?"

Speaking of this,

he paused for a moment, and asked curiously:

"You don't wear only clothes made of ordinary cloth when fighting in the underground palace, do you?"

Patterned clothes are a luxury for ordinary people, but they are also a necessity for cultivators.

The two great masters of the fairy art of floating in the sky blasted against each other. Ordinary clothes could be torn to pieces just by the shock, and those without patterned clothes would be naked in the middle of the fight. The scene was too abstract to be bearable to watch.

Bai Muxi replied as a matter of course:

"We have black death armor, have you forgotten, sir? When the aliens attack, we will all change into armor."

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes:

"You have it now?"

"Senior Luo gave me some before, barely enough."

Speaking of black death armor, Bai Muxi's eyes lit up again, and whispered: "In fact, sir, the people of the Seven Cities Alliance can use black death armor, which can save a lot of money."

After that, Xiaobai stared at Xu Yuan with blinking eyes.

All materials in the Dead Silence Underground Palace are in short supply. As the chief official, she saves all the materials.

"."

Raising his hand and tapping the woman's forehead, Xu Yuan said with some disdain:

"Look at your petty look. The Black Death Armor will suck human life. It's better to spend money than to spend life."

After getting the Black Death Armor, the Institute of Gewu has begun to study it, hoping to make a modified version of the standard spirit armor based on the companion fungus blanket of the aliens to reduce the cost.

After all, the protective strength of the Black Death Armor is really high.

But unfortunately, this project has not made any progress until now.

Because the Black Death Armor will absorb the source of the armored person, it will affect the source of the military formation to a certain extent.

If it is powered by source crystals, the cost will be sky-high, which is completely putting the cart before the horse.

When the eyebrows were tapped, Bai Muxi took two steps back in cooperation, raised his hand and rubbed it, knowing that the master had made up his mind, and whispered:

"Thank you for your pity, master."

While the two chatted, the host of Hongshang, who went to see the two brothers and sisters of the Mu family, also returned to the second floor.

After hearing what the receptionist said, the woman agreed after weighing the pros and cons. She told Xu Yuan the price of the dress that Mu Zhiyun had ordered.

A total of 46,000 taels.

When Xu Yuan heard this number, he almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.

What kind of dress is so expensive? !

In the past, he would occasionally go to Hongshang Clothing Shop and spend a lot of money to find out the depth of a beauty.

According to his previous experience here, the price of the first floor of Hongshang Clothing Shop is probably between tens and hundreds of taels, while the second floor starts at a thousand taels, but six or seven thousand taels is basically the top.

However, after hearing the slightly flustered explanation of the woman, Xu Yuan also understood that the dress was indeed worth the price.

Whether it is the style design, the material of the clothes, or the engraving of the array pattern, it has reached the strength of the body-melting pattern clothing.

After a little silence,

the woman asked Xu Yuan tentatively if he would still help pay.

This unemotional question made Xu Yuan roll his eyes.

Pay? Of course I have to pay.

But it's not because of face, but because if he wants to investigate Mu Zhiyun, now is undoubtedly the best opportunity to start.

He paid the money, and Mu Hongli and Mu Zhiyun will definitely receive the letter afterwards. Mu Zhiyun may be acting now. It's hard for Xu Yuan to guess her reaction, but with the temperament of the young marquis, he will definitely I will try my best to contact him.

This is considered a bait.

When Lou Ji and the others are doing intelligence work, sometimes you may not even hear a sound if you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on it. The possibility of buying one for 46,000 taels of silver is still very good for the overall situation.

After paying the money and wrapping their clothes, Xu Yuan and his two men left Hongshang Clothing Store directly.

The streets outside were as bustling as ever. The Mu family brothers and sisters who had taken the lead had disappeared. People in all kinds of gorgeous clothes were bustling under the warm sunshine.

Humming a tune in his heart, Xu Yuan walked in front with a smile on his face, while Bai Muxi silently followed behind, carrying a silk bag containing new clothes, biting her red lips tightly under the purple gauze.

Although I knew in my heart that the young master had his own plans, and that I was not qualified to take care of him, that was 46,000 taels of silver. If I saved this money, I could still buy more than twenty pairs of spiritual armors and use them to make meat-eating corn. I don’t even know geometry.

After walking for ten breaths, Xu Yuan finally found Xiaobai who was limp behind him. He stared at her for a few breaths with a strange look on his face:

"Mu Xi, are you angry with me for spending money on a stranger?"

When Bai Muxi heard this, she quickly raised her eyes, shook her head and said:

"Mu Xi doesn't dare."

Xu Yuan smiled and said:

“Just because you don’t dare doesn’t mean you don’t have it.”

Bai Muxi subconsciously wanted to admit her mistake, but after thinking about it, she said bluntly:

"Mu Xi just thinks it's a little inappropriate for the young master to be so extravagant and wasteful when he is just raising money."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes slightly curved.

Somewhat unexpectedly, before today, Xiaobai would only admit his mistakes and would not dare to say such "advice" to him. However, after today's transaction, although Xiaobai is still a maid in name, in fact he can be called a maid. Concubine, and also a concubine with a "foreign relative".

This Biluochun's ability to change attitudes due to his status is quite good.

Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan explained:

"The two people just now are the legitimate sons and daughters of the Wuchenghou Mansion. Do you know the past between me and the little princess?"

Bai Muxi hesitated slightly when he heard the words, but still answered truthfully:

"I heard a little bit that the young master seemed to have been sent to the frontier because of her. Later, there seemed to be a marriage contract, but in the end she was replaced by Princess Wu Yuan for some unknown reason."

Because of her limited background, she wanted to rise to the top and worked harder than other women around the young master. After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had a rough understanding of the young master's past.

But it's a pity that Bai Muxi's understanding is still limited to his background. A lot of information comes from hearsay and reading official newspapers in Dayan.

After speaking softly, Bai Muxi paused briefly and asked tentatively:

"Is there a hidden secret in this?"

Xu Yuan nodded with a smile and briefly informed Bai Muxi of the whole matter.

After hearing this, Bai Muxi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and showed a slight hesitation:

"Young master, are you suspecting that the princess directed and acted on her own? But wouldn't it be better to leave this kind of matter to Guild Xu?"

Xu Yuan shook his head gently, with a sigh in his tone:

"My father cannot come forward in this matter. Mu Zhiyun is the biological daughter of Marquis Wu Cheng."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan smiled in a strange tone:

"Mu Xi, if the royal family provides evidence that I have a problem, do you think my father will believe the royal family's evidence or me?"

Bai Muxi was thoughtful:

"In this way, the official path will not work, and we can only take the secret path."

Xu Yuan sighed:

"Yes, originally I thought of handing it over to Lou Ji, but Mu Zhiyun hardly leaves Wuchenghou's mansion, and you can see her character, she is completely unconventional. Lou Ji wants to check her out, You have to get close first, otherwise it will be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

"Even if I throw out the bait, the other party has to take the initiative to bite the hook."

"Sir, instead of going around in such a roundabout way, how about we directly tie her up?" Bai Muxi suggested coldly.

The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched.

What a re-enactment of a classic, scoring twice.

With a slight cough, Xu Yuan frowned and said:

"Today is different from the past. If it is exposed, it will involve too much, and it is not confirmed that it is her yet."

"Isn't it already confirmed?"

Bai Muxi replied matter-of-factly, and under Xu Yuan's questioning gaze, she said softly:

"As for all the things you just mentioned, the princess's behavior seems to have perfectly evaded the Prime Minister's Office's investigation of her."

Xu Yuan frowned and said:

"Without actual evidence, your conclusion is too firm."

Bai Muxi shook her head slightly:

"Sir, the biggest evidence is actually the engagement contract between you and Mu Zhiyun. When you introduced it just now, you also said that the Wuchenghou Mansion already knew that you were being manipulated. It is impossible for Mu Zhiyun to not know about this. First of all, she knows that you and she are both victims in this whole thing."

Xu Yuan reminded:

"I have a bad reputation, and the Marquis Wucheng Mansion may not believe it."

"No, your reputation, sir, is nothing more than cruelty and lewdness. Tyranny is common to all the children of rich families. As for lewdness, Mu Xi doesn't think you need to use force because of your appearance, sir."

"."

Tsk, this is just the right amount of licking power.

Listening to Bai Muxi's words, Xu Yuan found that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.

His notoriety was actually exaggerated by scribes. With the power of the Wuchenghou Mansion, a little exploration of this rumored reputation would reveal the truth.

In other words, the Wuchenghou Mansion may have acquiesced in this matter.

With his thoughts at this point, Xu Yuan felt a little puzzled.

its not right.

If Wuchenghou Mansion acquiesced that both parties were victims, then why was he sent to Jingjiang Mansion?

etc.

The image of Xu Changge slashing Mu Hongli half-kneeling on the ground with a knife flashed in his mind, as well as the erased records.

hiss.

Could it be that Xu Changge was taking the blame for his being assigned?

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan murmured in a low voice:

"What you said seems to make some sense."

"This is just one of them."

Bai Muxi pursed her lips and smiled, glancing in the direction where the Mu brothers and sisters had just left:

"After all the misunderstandings were resolved, why did Mu Zhiyun's meek character still refuse to marry at the risk of death?

"Your engagement with her is the link between the royal family and the prime minister's house. If Mu Zhiyun is really as bad-tempered as she reveals, can she really withstand the pressure of her family?

"Not to mention, the jealous Mrs. Fuguo will most likely do some ideological work on her."

"at last,

"Sir, now we know that there is something special about her. Looking back in hindsight, don't you think that Mu Zhiyun's behavior of forcing her to break off the engagement even at the risk of death was actually because she was afraid of entering the prime minister's house?

"Even if you are a bride-in-law, you will always take her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to wake up one day. Once she enters the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is not up to her to investigate or not."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of people around him filled his ears again.

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and pondered Xiaobai's words. After a while, his tone was serious:

"When I return home today, I will confirm some things first. If these things are confirmed, I won't mind scoring twice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the seriousness on Xu Yuan's face disappeared, he looked at Xiaobai with a smile, stretched out his hand to hook her slender waist, and praised:

"You are very nice, I like you."

Being hugged on the street, Bai Muxi froze for a moment, but she didn't resist. She pursed her lips and smiled:

"Sir, you are in the middle of the game and cannot see the overall situation. Mu Xi is just reminding you."

"Hahaha."

Looking around at the various shops around him, Xu Yuan laughed twice, holding Xiao Bai's soft and slender waist, his eyes finally fixed on an old shop selling servants and various daily necessities:

"There must be a reward for reminding me. I will buy you some other items."

The third day in a row. . .
